Rockstar Announces GTA VI Cover, Pre‑order Date and 2026 Release

Rockstar Games released the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto VI, showing protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos amid a collage of vehicles, a helicopter with a minigun, and a Florida‑inspired city called Leonida. The company confirmed that pre‑orders will begin on 25 June, available through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store and selected retailers. The game is slated for launch on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC version expected in early 2027. No price was disclosed, though speculation suggests a $100 baseline. Following the reveal, Take‑Two’s share price rose almost 5 %. Both articles emphasize the visual style of the cover, the return to a Vice‑City setting, and the high consumer interest generated by the announcement.
